1000 miles, $20K-$30K? Fly there Friday night. South West has cheap seats. Get a hotel room, see the car in the am. If it meets your approval pay the man in cash. Get insurance and start driving. Your home Sunday night (8 hrs driving a day). If the car does not meet your approval fly home that day. If you don't like the car your out the cost of the ticket and the hotel room.

Bank transfers only protect you if your selling. They do nothing to protect you from the car being a POS.

As mentioned ask someone here to do a PPI first for you here. If you like what they say buy them dinner Friday night when you fly in to pick up the car.

Good luck
